Thanks for sharing those pics Henry! I have to dig, but I think I have a contact for the camo one, but it's been a long time. He's got a website with it on there, and some other neat stuff.

Toyota called those turn signal flags winkers: 81740-69010 Winker assy, LH

They were electric, I'd have to guess an electric magnet or something flipped 'em out. I've seen the hole for #6 but never a switch.

Your winker is something entirely different.

Gene, your confusing your vowels again......

Anybody else notice on that 25......

No Kick Vents
Late Model Wheels (no, not the hubcaps).
A Flat Gas Cap??
Small Horn Button
Early Instrument Cluster
Winker Switch

OK Jim, I'll play. Wiper arms and blades look a little large for a 25. Are the mirrors stock? I know on the FJ45LV they mounted on the middle of the fender not the front.

those rear doors are factory? I've only seen flip down tailgates... They sure look like they belong on a 40

They are on a hard top. Strange they mounted a gas can on a tire carrier.

Just busts me up that the flashers were called winkers. Living in the Past, good call. I'm gonna have to give Mr. Specter the heads up on that one.

Finally found the link for the camo 25 (lost the mail). He has some stuff here: '57 FJ25, Mitsu Jeeps and toys....

So first ones didn't have a T-bird emblem??

Also, ya think that's an OEM set-up for the spare tire and jerry can mounts??

It almost looks like the jerry can is riding on an original (hardtop style) square tire carrier, and the spare tire is hanging on a tube-style mount over on the DS.

yes it is, but its for a latter model 40, thats how they mounted em, on a seprate swing away like the tire carrier.

You can still get the OEM Jerry cans......not for the faint of heart though
